Simple Coastal Updates For Summer

For the summer season
I was inspired to change up my mantel a little by
 Emily at The Wicker House.
 You can checked out her beautiful blog & mantel here.

We live coastally
& through the year my home is influenced by
coastal living.

We are 50ft from the bay,
which is a blessing unless it is hurricane season:).

My husband & his entire family
sail and enjoy their various water activities.
And
we are a beach family,
we love to spend long summer days at the beach.


So I thought I would decorate my mantel
& front door to reflect that.

    So peaceful and calm, like looking at a sunset on the beach. I love the window frame and all the little details on the mantel. I hope you don't mind but I would like to make a drift wood sailboat with my son like yours.

    Oh My! You are the Sweetest! Thank you for the Shout out. Your Mantel is beautiful, I'm dying over that window. So Cool! OK and then your view. . . You are soooo lucky. It must be wonderful waking up to that every morning. Also I'm loving your blue door with the no.1 on it and the cute wreath Too. So much cuteness going on!!

    Your mantel is gorgeous, love the colors you use. Even though I live in TN, grew up in CAl not far from the beach and love to decorate for summer with lots of beachy stuff! Found you at Fench Country Cottage Friday party. I'm your newest follower and will be back often! Would love for you to visit me!
